In Richard's case he's doomed to replay forever each chapter of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Western Philosophy. Outa the mouths of characters he would like to kill before they've uttered a line. But because he wrote them in the first place, he can't murder any of them, but has to hear out each and every one, infinitely. So, it's kind of genius that way.<BR/><BR/>PawlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13233668.post-1122275491160124702005-07-25T00:11:00.000-07:002005-07-25T00:11:00.000-07:00Oh my word, so much sinning going on in here...its...Oh my word, so much sinning going on in here...its like a sin fest! or an infest!!!!!! in case any of you heathen punks are wondering how I got such an incredible sense of humor, its because I have the Lord on my side...repent and be saved!<BR/><A HREF="http://evenmoretruechurch.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">The Church of Jesus Christ of Even More Latter Day Saints</A>...PS hey sheltered, you should get a ticker or site counter because you must get alot of traffic!

I enjoyed how Linklater allows us to feel bombarded with them--as we often are when trying to tackle philosophical theories--just as his character is during the time he has in his final dream. All the characters in the film are eccentric, and I liked that they even became absurd at times.<BR/><BR/>In all, I'm not sure one is capable of gleaning a clear message from the movie. I think its goal was to remind us of our intellectual struggle to imbue our lives with some kind of meaning, but that, in the end, we all have to let go of the endeavor to secure dominion over the mystery from which we were born.<BR/><BR/>It's a little trite, but the film doesn't devalue the philosophical exercise. It just tries to frame it within our daily lives and dreams. It was a fun and personal movie from Linklater, though I'd not call it a masterpiece or particularly worthy of awards.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685293017404260699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13233668.post-1119653977966937532005-06-24T15:59:00.000-07:002005-06-24T15:59:00.000-07:00"watch the commentary"?!You must be the smart one ..."watch the commentary"?!<BR/><BR/>You must be the smart one here...Garbage Manhttp://www.famedtrash.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13233668.post-1119631914520333152005-06-24T09:51:00.000-07:002005-06-24T09:51:00.000-07:00You dick, watch the commentary, it was done by a w...You dick, watch the commentary, it was done by a whole group of local artists.

I like this movie on two levels, the animation because more than a few of the artists had no prior animation experience, and the philosophy, because even if I don't fully understand what they're talking about, it makes me think. I get enough story and plot etc. from every other movie, I could use the break. Also, I love the characters. <BR/>"I like to mix them all together."Dave Hartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493964279081659383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13233668.post-1119514167248475702005-06-23T01:09:00.000-07:002005-06-23T01:09:00.000-07:00Insightful philosophical discourse in service of c...Insightful philosophical discourse in service of compelling drama?
